Who this course is for
This suits career changers aiming at coaching support, community sport or PE-related graduate pathways who need a foundation year first. It is not framed here as a qualified-teacher-status route on its own.
Entry routes for mature students
The foundation year is the preparatory entry step before the main PE and sport stages. AF Education will confirm evidence requirements for your circumstances.
Funding with Student Finance England
AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply.
Check your Student Finance eligibility — free, takes about 2 minutes.
How often you study
Typical full-time study with these providers is usually 1 to 2 campus days a week, around 2 to 4 hours per day, so many students work alongside their course. Timetables vary by course and campus — always confirm your timetable before you enrol. Weekday full-time study is listed, linked with Avery Hill Campus sports facilities in current notes.
Career and progression
Modules support coaching support, community sport delivery and PE-related progression; becoming a school PE teacher usually needs separate teacher-training routes. AF Education does not guarantee jobs or QTS.
